DTS Neural™ Mono2Stereo

Developed under license from DTS®, this plugin suite converts mono audio sources into stereo content, which can then be turned into 5.1 or 7.1 surround.

DTS Neural™ Mono2Stereo is a high-quality stereo synthesis tool that assists in the creation of surround content for live broadcast, production and post-production. DTS Neural Mono2Stereo gives you complete control over how mono elements are positioned and perceived in the final stereo mix. You can render mono channels into stereo for stereo broadcast and streaming. The resulting stereo content can then be converted to 5.1 or 7.1 surround using the DTS Neural Surround UpMix plugin.

When using DTS Neural Mono2Stereo in multiple instances on sub-mixes or individual mono sources, audio elements can be spatially separated to preserve intelligibility and create an enveloping image that is nearly indistinguishable from native stereo content.

DTS Neural Mono2Stereo is typically used in live broadcasts of sports events, music performances and award shows. For example, to deliver a compelling experience to audiences watching a live sports event, it is imperative to capture all of the sights and sounds of the game or the race. Ambient sounds such as crowd noise, racing car engines, cracking baseball bats, or comments from the football field are often captured as mono sources. The challenge for mixers is to arrange all these complex elements into an immersive mix without masking the announcer's play-by-play commentary.

With the DTS Neural Mono2Stereo plugin, broadcast engineers can easily create a spectrally balanced stereo image from mono sources, for accurate placement in a 5.1 or 7.1 mix. This way the ambient effects can be decoded and reproduced as the mixer had intended, preventing unwanted ambient content from being steered directly to the center channel.
